The Copper Hills course is poorly maintained. The rough is extremely rough. The cart paths are cracked, broken, and falling apart. The carts are tempramental - there were at least three abandoned on the first 9 holes. Pace of play was horrible - took us an hour to play the first two holes and sitting behind a two some and another 4 some waiting on 3 to tee off.
This could be a great course, but lack of attention to conditions and slow play made this a bad experience. I was wishing I was somewhere else enjoying golf rather than the enduring the agony of Copper Hills.
Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Better courses for less nearby, Worse than average course for the area
